Objectives

Textbook

Students will build a basic knowledge of the structure of chemistry. They will
analyse scientific concepts and think critically and review the importance and
relevance of chemistry in our everyday lives. In addition, they will able to utilize
the methods of science as a logical means of problem solving in regards to
chemistry.

Define the basic concepts of chemistry (the structure of atoms, electronic


configuration, chemical bonds, properties of elements etc...).
Classify matter by its state and binding behavior using the Periodic table as a
reference.
Understand and explain basic equilibrium chemistry and the principle behind four
main classes of reaction, e.g., acid-base, oxidation-reduction, complex metric and
precipitation reactions.
Recognize in real live organic compounds and understand their functions and
structures.
Compare and contrast the chemical behavior and physical properties of common
substances
Understand the importance of molecules of live and the metabolic reactions they are
involved in.

Assessment concept is based on continuous work with students during the


semester. The examinations (quizzes, midterm, projects and final exam) provide
the opportunity for the students to demonstrate their understanding of the
course material and their ability to apply critical thinking.
